The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) recently published the results from its comprehensive public opinion survey of 1,000 registered voters. The survey was conducted by telephone November 12 – 16, 2014.

Key findings of the survey include:

• Courts remain the most trusted branch of government;
• Court users express confidence in fairness of proceedings, but have doubts about customer service and job performance;
• There is a strong demand for greater availability of online services; and,
• The public worries that politics undermines the impartiality of the court system

A summary of poll results provided by the firm, GBA Strategies, and the presentation are available for viewing.
